Goodbye Laguna Beach and California in general - what a great trip! ☀️ ☀️☀️☀️☀️ My first time in California and I can’t wait to go back to this beautiful and diverse state. 🏖 ☀️ 🏖 ☀️ 🏖 ☀️ 🏖 ☀️ Some highlights were my surfing lesson with @girlinthecurlsurfshop the laughter yoga at @mylagunabeach. In @visitweho I just loved the e-bike ride with @bikesandhikesLA and the sound bath class at @unplugmeditation - feeling chilled - wondering how long it will last!!! Ha ha!

This is a group of local high schoolers that I see from time to time in my neighborhood. They hang out at the park after school, listen to music, do the things that teenagers do. But what has always struck me about this group of kids, is how different they all are.⁣ ⁣ Spending time with them, taking their portraits, I learned how many of them are first-generation Americans. And yet, perhaps because of this, they’re race-blind. To me, they represent the best of America in their absolute diversity and unequivocal camaraderie. They're Filipino, Mexican, French-Caribbean, Jewish, African-American, all hanging out together, as the children of immigrants, as Americans, as the future.⁣ ⁣ I wanted to capture this sense of promise that I felt spending time with them - this hope that one day many years from now, nations, borders, people, all become simply - the human race. Thanks to @MigrateOfficial, @NextGenFrance, and @PolaroidOriginals for showing these works in Paris. Part I of
